Busy

I've been busy, busy, busy...mostly with work, although I've managed to squeeze in a few creative things in the past fortnight.

I went away to visit family down in the South~West and took lots of photographs of the wildflowers that are blooming around my sister's property.
Here's one:




These delicate little flowers (which, I think, are a type of native orchid) also grow in the Darling Ranges, where I grew up. I used to believe that fairies lived in them when I was really little, inspired by my mother's copy of A Midsummer Night's Dream.
Can't you just imagine it?

(Incidentally, I came across Little Black Knitting Crow's photography blog: little clicking crow and really enjoyed looking at her photos of Tasmanian wildflowers and such. She has a wonderful eye. I'm also the proud owner of one of her lino prints. )

I've managed to bead a few memory wire bracelets.
One, just like this, for my mum's birthday:





and another pink one for me:




I've also been working on my Spring Ripple Scarf.


I'm using Noro Kureyon Sock Yarn Number 188 and I think that the colours are delicious!








...and now it's time for me to get back to marking.

Have a wonderful week.

Those bracelets are gorgeous! And the scarf is looking really pretty. I think that's the prettiest kureyon sock colorway I've seen. :)

Found you via the Comment Train.

Wow, the bracelets! And I can't wait to cast on my Noro sock yarn...

The wildflowers with fairies in them... that's so romantic. I love it. :) I hope my children will believe things like that as they grow up too; seems like children are so jaded these days.
